The Sweater Weather TAG

Yes I have a youtube channel, and yes, you should definitely subscribe to it. I try my best to upload videos once a week or so, but in December I'm going to be doing Vlogmas, which means I'll be vlogging every day from the 1st to the 25th. Just thought I'd let you guys know !

I know places we can go, dear.

Been finding so much lovely stuff at flea markets lately, the weathers been nice and I've had nothing to do which sometimes feels wonderful. Went to an abandoned house to take pictures, such a haunting environment. Found the way to enter one of the houses, but chickened out on actually going inside. We had no flashlights, and it seemed pitch black in there. Maybe next time. 

tuesday blues.

So, I'm officially done with A-levels! I'm happy that I managed to get through all of my subjects with grace, even music. To 'celebrate' the start of holidays, me and Nana went on a rather rainy trip to Cambridge. Honestly, ever since exams ended it's just been raining and raining and raining.

Anyway, to mark the end of an era called British school I went to get my smiley piercing back. I must say, it actually hurt this time around. I remember not even feeling the needle go through when I had it done back in 2011, but I suppose the scar tissue that formed from the last time made it harder for the needle to get through. I also picked up a pair of creepers from new look and 'Peter Parker' glasses. Maybe I'll pretend I'm an undercover superhero when wearing these glasses, haha.

baker street.

Pictures from a pub on Baker Street that me and my family visited before we went to the Sherlock Holmes museum. To be honest, I think the pub was a better place to be than the museum itself(wasn't really impressed by that.. might rant about it in a later post).
As a big fan of vintage and retro stuff, I found the interior design of the pub really nice and cozy. There was kind of like a warm feel to it. Hard to explain. A really nice place to go for a coffee/pint/whatever with friends or family ((---:

so don't look ahead, never look ahead.

Feels like it's been a while since last time.. Sorry about that! I don't really have any excuse for not blogging. It's not lack of creativity, quite the opposite. I've been spending all the free-time I have while not working on painting, making music etc. Summer keeps me inspired, all though it's been really rainy and not too warm, so I don't know what kind of summer this is supposed to be. I think I'll be doing some sort of art-post very soon. Leave a comment below if you're interested in seeing some of my work and/or work in progress, will you?

Above are some pictures from my trip to Gdansk. I didn't take too many pictures there, which is kind of sad, as the city was very beautiful. We stayed in the center of the old city. All those colorful, old buildings made me fall in love with that town(as well as the cheap coffee..) I'll probably end up traveling there again sometime.

losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control.

 I went to the opening evening of a lovely vintage shop called Retrobot! I think I might have a new favorite shop, it's so cute and cozy! I had lots of fun with everyone, it really made my week. And those brownies were SO GOOD! I found a pair of awesome denim shorts too, which I'll take pictures of later sometime!

dragonborn

Found this awesome knit while thrifting the other day. I honestly might thing it's the best thing I've ever bought at a thrift-store. It might not be everyones cup of tea, though. I don't have any proper outfit pics, sadly...

On another note, I GOT SKYRIM! Finally! Been waiting for ages that  it'd be on sale, and now it was only 29,90e at Anttila. Based on the little I've played now, I'd say it's a hard yet fantastic game. The graphics are great, and the landscape.. oh, how beautiful. The only problem I have with it is the "look around"-thing. I'm used to looking around World of Warcraft style, so looking around by simply moving the mouse is still quite hard for me. Also, attacking with swords or axes, I don't get it. Bows and magic is pretty easy, so I guess I'll stick to them.

Enough with the nerd talk! I hope any of the above made sense..

A couple outfits from the past days. I'm in love with those tights, but they're already kinda broken. I'm a master on ruining tights and leggings. It's because of my sharp nails, I guess...

It's my birthday today! Right now I'm painting my nails bright pink and just getting ready for tonight. We're going to have a eurovision-theme party, since it's the eurovision song contest finals today! More about that next time.

regress into a dream

Just a quick update this time! Baked cookies for mothers day, and there are still lots of them left(so I'll probably have cookies for breakfast tomorrow.. yum).

Also, I've got a job interview tomorrow. I hope it goes well! My hairdressers-appointment is also tomorrow.. dipdye here I come

What if lightning strikes them twice?

So right now, while listening to the new Norah Jones album(Little Broken Hearts), which is pretty good by the way, I thought I'd do a small haul for you guys. Everything is from a thrift-store called Kirppiscenter. It's my favorite one, and in my opinion also the best one available in Turku. I always end up buying something...

The bought I'm most excited about must be that camera. It was a bit pricey I think, 19,50e. But it's completely functioning; it even has a self-timer or whatever it's called(itselaukaisin in Finnish). I'm already very eager to start taking pictures with it. I want to take lots of pictures to show my host-family when I travel to England! 

Oh yeah, and I think I'm now officially not buying clothes for a while. My closet is exploding, and I think I'll manage with everything I have until my trip to Gdansk after mid-summer.

I am SHERLOCKED

I seriously need to do something with my hair, it's all over the place! It's growing so slowly too. I wanted long hair for summer, but it hasn't grown much at all... oh well, I'll just have to be patient. My regular hairdresser is on maternity-leave, so I'll have to try out something new(which scares the crap out of me). I'm super paranoid about hairdressers. There are like, over 100 hair-salons in Turku, but I've had bad experiences with a few. I kinda want to try a salon called "pop-in". 

A friend of mine is checking that one out pretty soon. I'll give it a shot, if her hair becomes nice! Photos taken yesterday. Me and Alice had a small photoshoot! 

PS. I just wanted to inform you, that I've been completely SHERLOCKED for the past few months... I just love everything about the BBC Sherlock series. It's thrilling and absolutely mind-blowing(and Benedict Cumberbatch happens to be awfully good-looking)

Taking your circus to the sky

I spent my May day relaxing and playing video games, while most people were partying... It was nice though! As usual, May 1st was spent at Vartiovuori park having a picnic. It's a tradition for most people, I guess. I wasn't there too long, though, and left to watch a movie with my friends Minni and Saila. Afterwards we went out for a while. Pretty nice actually...

Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing

I promise you, there WILL be good-quality pictures(and possibly videos) here this week. I just felt like writing and updating you on what's going on...

So, I mentioned videos. Yes, I'm actually thinking about starting vlogging, since it'd some days be much more interesting for you than just looking at some bad instagram pictures. I really enjoy watching vlogs, and I've for a long time wanted to join the youtube-community.

I dyed my hair brown-ish recently, but I hate it. I seriously HATE it. So that's why I randomly(or not so randomly) decided that I'm going to dye my hair RED. So exciting! I love changing things up.

I spent my whole easter vacation at the countryside. All though I didn't really enjoy my time there, I feel relaxed and stuff.. And that's all now, writing more here soon..
